Hi! I am new to here

Melliemoo

Good evening! I am new to the forum, my 8 yr old has recently been diagnosed with ASD, I am shell shocked as I have been saying this for so long and have recently gain a massive ammount of support from school... just because the senco has got to know him and his CT was new to the school in september. 

Parents

  • Good evening. I am new to this site, and my question is how we deal our grandson 25 who has Aspergers and has an addiction to scratch cards and internet gambling sites. Apparently no amount of talking to him makes any differnce. His mum thinks she has sorted it out for him and just continues. His mum is at the end of her tether, as she struggles to make ends meet. He realises that he mustn't do this, but obviously its an addiction, and I do realize that he is not going to be able to do this just like that. His mother has never had any help (to my knowledge) or advise or any support of anykind in regard to her son. (Until he was 20 years old,) when he used to get very distressed around people and would shout to people in the street if they were looking at him. (That is only one example.  BUT at the moment the overriding problem at the moment is the gambling.    Sorry I am rambling.
